Getting started

EasyStart software is already installed on your Muratec fax machine. It guides you

through the process of entering your machine s settings.

These settings you make here can always be changed later.

Getting started

The type of dialing your telephone system requires Choose either tone or

pulse (rotary) dialing.

The name and fax number you want to appear on your faxes

text at the very top of the page.This text lists a name, called the Transmit

Terminal Identifier (

TTI

), and a fax number. The

TTI

cannot be longer than 22

characters.

Basic operation

Guidelines

You can send a fax message using the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) or FBS

(Flatbed Scanner) glass.Before you begin the fax sending, please read the following

guidelines.

Acceptable document sizes

You can set up to 50 sheets of letter-, legal- or half letter−sized document in the

ADF at one time. However, its possible to fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad

sheet or one up to three feet long.

The acceptable dimensions (width × length) are:

Automatic document feeder (

ADF

)

INGLE

SHEET

ULTIPLE

SHEET

Maximum: 8.5″ × 35.4″ Maximum: 8.5″ × 14.0″

Minimum: 4.7″ × 3.9″ Minimum: 5.8″ × 4.1″

Flatbed scanner (

FBS

)

Maximum: 8.5″ × 14.0″

Things not to put in your fax

To avoid paper jams and damage to your machine, don t insert:

Folded, curled, torn, wrinkled or very thin pages

Documents with staples,glue, tape, paper clips or still-wet correction fluid

Sticky notes (or documents with sticky notes attached)

Cardboard, newspaper or fabric

Pages with duplicating carbon on either side

Credit cards or any small, thick items

OHP transparency film

How to set the document

When setting the documents in the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder)

Insert your document(s) face

up, top edge first. If you re

sending a multi-page docu-

ments, fan the pages slightly.

Adjust the document width

guide to fit your documents.

Note: The ADF can hold up to 50 pages of normal weight paper.

When setting the documents on the FBS (Flatbed Scanner) glass

Make sure the document is not

in the ADF.

Lift the platen cover.

Set your document face down

on the

FBS

glass.The document

should be aligned to the front

right corner.

Gently close the platen cover.

Important: Gently close the platen cover so that you don t catch your

hands,possibly injuring them.

Sending faxes

2.2

Basic operation

Resolution, grayscale

Reviewing resolution and grayscale:

Normal resolution (

NORM

on the control panel) is suitable for most typed

documents and simple drawings.

Fine resolution (

FINE

on the control panel) is ideal for maps,moderately compli-

cated drawings, floorplans or handwritten documents.

Superfine resolution (

FINE

on the control panel, S Fine on the

LCD

)

reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawings or line art.

Grayscale mode (

HALFTONE

on the control panel; Gray on the

LCD

) captures

shades in photos and drawings.

Note: If you send a fax in superfine, certain fax models (especially older, non-

Muratec models) receive it only in fine mode. However, you can send a fax in

grayscale mode to virtually any fax machine currently in use.

To change the resolution setting, press

RESOLUTION

repeatedly.

A glowing

LED

indicates the fax is using the setting named by

that

LED

. For example, in the drawing (right), the machine is set

for

FINE

resolution.

Contrast

Setting the contrast allows you to compensate for any excessive lightness or dark-

ness,as the case may be, of document pages you are sending or copying.

To change the contrast setting, press

CONTRAST

repeatedly.

A glowing

LED

indicates the fax is using the setting named by

that

LED

Note: To avoid confusing the Light and Dark settings, just

remember Light lightens and Dark darkens t o

keep it straight.

Mixing resolution and contrast in a multiple page

When you send the document with more than one page, you can select different res-

olutions and contrasts for each page.

Insert your documents,select resolution and contrast for first page, dial and press

START

.Then follow one of the following two procedures.

When the document is placed in the ADF:

Select resolution and contrast before the next page is scanned.

When the document is placed on the FBS glass:

Remove the previous page and place the next page.

Select resolution and contrast.Then press

NEXT DOC

Dialing pause

Some long-distance systems require dialing pauses, and pauses can also be useful

when you re dialing through special telephone exchanges.

To insert a pause, just press

REDIAL

PAUSE

. (The pause character (

) will appear on

the

LCD

.) Each pause entered lasts for a factory-set two seconds.

For example, pressing 9,

REDIAL

PAUSE

, 19725552009 dials 9 [2-second pause] 1 9 7

2 5 5 5 2 0 0 9.

Helpful Tip: You can change the dialing pause length within 2 to 10 seconds.

(see Changing the pause length, page 4.5.)

Potential problems with call-waiting and voice mail

Telephone call-waiting signals can stop fax transmission and reception.And any

service such as voice mail which may intercept your calls can keep your fax

machine from receiving fax calls.

If you use only one line for both phone and fax, consult your telephone company to

see how you can temporarily disable call-waiting or voice mail while using the fax

machine.
